Eli Lilly & Company, et al, currently pending inBrazoria County, Texas that come from the archives of Eli Lilly & Company. The documents clearly demonstrate that Lilly's thimerosalproduct, the mercury-based vaccine preservative implicated in a numberof recent law suits as causing neurological injury to infants, wasknown as early as

April 1930 to be dangerous. In its apparent eagerness to promote and market the product, inSeptember, 1930, Eli Lilly secretly sponsored a "human toxicity" studyon patients already known to be dying of meningococcal meningitis.Senior partner Andrew Waters stated that, "Lilly then cited this studyrepeatedly for decades as proof that thimerosal was of low toxicityand harmless to humans. They never revealed to the scientific community or the publicthe highly questionable nature of the original research." While Eli Lilly made every effort to corrupt the medical andscientific literature, the process of arranging to publish the resultsof its questionable secret study, other researchers have providedLilly with numerous articles since the 1930's indicating concernsabout thimerosal and its potential hazard to humans who

might beexposed or injected with the substance. The evidence clearly demonstrates that Eli Lilly was advisedrepeatedly that their conclusions of low toxicity were not warrantedand that they failed to pass the information on to appropriate federaland public health authorities. The following time line illustratessome, but by no means all, of the documentary evidence on this pointfrom Lilly's internal files: 1947 Article received by Lilly: "No eruptions or reactions havebeen observed or reported to merthiolate internally, but it may bedangerous to inject a serum containing merthiolate into a patientsensitive to merthiolate." 1948 Article received by Lilly: "Merthiolate is such a commonlyused preservative for biologicals, plasma, cartilage, etc., that itwould seem important to determine whether harm would result

followingits subcutaneous or intravenous injection in skin sensitive individuals." 1950 New York Academy of Science article, "Mercurials asAntiseptics:It (merthiolate) is toxic when injected parenterallyand therefore cannot be used in chemotherapy." 1963 Article received by Lilly: "There is another point ofpractical significance: does the parenteral injection ofmerthiolate-containing fluids cause disturbances inmerthiolate-sensitive patients?It is known that persons that arecontact sensitive to a drug may tolerate the same medicationsinternally, but it seems advisable to use a preservative other thanmerthiolate for injections in merthiolate-sensitive people." 8/17/67 Medical/Science department requests that the claim"non-toxic" on thimerosal labels be deleted in next printing

run. 8/29/67 Draft label changed to "non-irritating to body tissues,"nontoxic omitted. 1972 British Medical Journal reports case of skin burnsresulting from the chemical interaction of thimerosal and aluminum."Mercury is known to act as a catalyst and to cause aluminum tooxidize rapidly, with the production of heat.The manufacturers whosupply us with thimerosal have been informed." [Thimerosal is beingused in vaccines which also contain aluminum]. 1972 Article received by Lilly: Merthiolate in vaccines causedsix deaths - "The symptoms and clinical course of the six patientssuggest subacute mercury poisoning." 4/27/76 Lilly responds to Rexall Drug Company's efforts to placethe following warning on Merthiolate product: "Frequent or prolongeduse or application to large

areas may cause mercury poisoning." Lillyobjects to this proposed warning, stating: "We object to the connection of our trademark with theunjustified alarm and concern on the part of the user which thestatement is likely to cause. . We are not aware of any instance of'mercury poisoning' after decades of marketing this product. This isbecause the mercury in the product is organically bound ethylmercuryas a completely nontoxic nature, not methylmercury." 1/5/82 FDA's advance notice of proposed rule making regardingthimerosal: "At the cellular level, thimerosal has been found to be moretoxic for human epithelial cells in vitro than mercuric chloride,mercuric nitrate, and merbromim (mercurichrom).It was found to be35.3 times more toxic for embryonic chick heart tissue than forstaphylococcus areus." 1950 study

showed that thimerosal was no betterthan water in protecting mice from potential fatal streptococcalinfection." "The Panel concludes that thimerosal is not safe for OTC topicaluse because of its potential for cell damage if applied to broken skinand its allergy potential. It is not effective as a topicalantimicrobial because its bacteriastatic action can be reversed." 4/7/83 Additional language added to some Lilly labels: "As withany drug, if you are pregnant or nursing a baby, seek the advice of ahealth professional before using this product." 1991 Lilly ceases manufacture/sale of thimerosal. Licensingagreements demonstrate continued profits from the product until atleast 2010. 12/8/99 Lilly MSDS regarding thimerosal: "Primary

Physical & Reproduction Effects: Nervous System andReproduction Effects" "Effects of exposure include fetal changes. "Mercury poisoning may occur." "Exposure in children may cause mild to severe mentalretardation...." "Hypersensitivity to mercury is a medical condition aggravatedby exposure." CERCLA Hazardous substance - toxic waste disposal. Waters & Kraus is litigating a growing number of individualcases across the country involving infants that sustained seriousneurological injuries from the thimerosal contained in their pediatricvaccines. Waters & Kraus is leading the following coalition of firmsin bringing these cases to trial.

Additional inquiries should be addressed to Melissa Miles atWaters & Kraus (Dallas), (214) 357-6244 or miles Potential claimants should call Claire Bothwell at Waters & Kraus (California), (562) 436-8833 or bothwell March 17, 2002-------- Dr. Mercola's Comment: Even minute amounts of mercury can cause nerve damage that isrelated to

Alzheimers' disease, so it is truly amazing that modernmedicine continues to push mercury-containing vaccines. If you know anyone who has been damaged by vaccines you mightwant to forward them this information. Mercury is also a common environmental contaminant, often comingfrom power plants and incinerators.
